I got my crashed airship stuck and couldn't progress any further (as I didn't have a separate save point) so I gave up, lol.

And it was stuck on a beach, not like I got it stuck doing something that it wasn't meant for.

I should buy a steam controller as the PS controller (while awesome) sucks with the way it needs to be configured for Windows 10.

I've got a Bluetooth PS4 controller. It works great wired or wireless (it can be used via USB while it is charging).
Edit: To make it work perfectly via bluetooth, I needed DS4Windows (http://ds4windows.com/).

I really like my Steam Controller. Very pleased with it.

I went through a ton of trials and tribulations finding a gaming controller. I think both the steam controller and xbox one controller are great (I have both now). The one caveat is the steam controller does take some getting used to. Both just plug in and work.

I'll caveat that. The Steam controller does just plug in and work. But to get the most out of it, and actually make it nice to use, you have to do a significant amount of customization to the control scheme per game. It's this customization that makes it an amazing controller, but it is a pain in the ass to get just right for a lot of games... especially emulation.

Yeah, the customization is very nice (although niche). That's actually why I have both. Sometimes I just want to plug the controller in and not have to deal with it.

But the good news is that with Steam Cloud and the Steam Community the game you're trying to play probably already has a control scheme/configuration available that someone else made.

I have both as well. I really prefer the Steam Controller but there are some games/emulators that I can't get it to work with correctly.

Definitely understandable. I like it too it just depends on the game I'm playing

Nope! Just install the DS4Windows before (or after) you connect it up via Bluetooth and it's magic!
I've played a few platformer games (Dusty Revenge, Dust: Elysian Tales) with it and it's great!
